sail VS pfcnx-laravel

Laravel Sail is a light-weight command-line interface for interacting with Laravel's default Docker development environment. Sail provides a great starting point for building a Laravel application using PHP, MySQL, and Redis without requiring prior Docker experience.

If this is your issue I can totally understand why it's closed. https://github.com/laravel/sail/issues/470

This is the default Dockerfile for the PHP 8.1 image that will be published to your project. Just add extra apt-get commands to install the extensions you need and then rebuild the images.

Update: I found in the laravel/sail repo that a bug was reported and a PR was created on it here: https://github.com/laravel/sail/issues/383

PHP 8.1 support added to Laravel Sail starting from v1.12.0. Meanwhile, they have replaced the mysql:8.0 Docker image with mysql/mysql-server:8.0 image in this pull request. Keeping all these things in mind, let's update the Laravel Sail to the latest version to use PHP 8.1.

I recommend using sail, it is pretty reasonable and for non laravel projects just get some inspiration from sail's github repo: https://github.com/laravel/sail/tree/1.x/runtimes/8.0

If it supports Docker, it can be installed in Laravel Sail (I have already submitted a PR for this)

This has been my experience. On top of this, it seems that there has been a recent change to Sail regarding Xdebug that has rendered every write-up I could find obsolete; https://github.com/laravel/sail/commit/5117805061fc9fb3e224beb7b69c092029761733

Yes you can, I build a docker container for my dev https://github.com/Stanislas-Poisson/pfcnx-laravel You will have an exemple of how to use it. (Also with an exemple of using horizon)
